You can read theory untill the cows come home....at the end of the day its experience and results that count......my experience and results say I' ll stand by shadys ideas on the subject.

Seriously though, I get it. I trust you that you think it's good. Drink what makes your soulshine. But we all know exactly what it tastes like. And all but like 2 or 3 of us run that shit again. Turns out you can actually polish a turd.

You can't make this shit up . Fact is stranger than truth .

Keep it small, during the learning process.
You can learn more from several small attempts.
Than you can from one large fuck up.

I claim this one for myself:

I coined this after a failed business investment.

They are lessons that money can't buy, but if you had the money, you wouldn't buy them.

Imagine if you absorbed a taco through your skin... it would probably kill you.

That's actually how we eat tacos in Texas...

There is no technology that replaces aging in a barrel. The sooner you start the less likely it will still be in the barrel when you die.

Making cuts on single-run turbo hooch is akin to filtering muddy water with a strainer. A second distillation purifies and aligns alcoholic constituents in a condensed, more linear fashion.

That deserves a quote

SBB always has some “colorful” perspectives for our hobby:

… Making neutral with a pot still is like trying to have sex with a sock on ya donga…

Say what you will, his input is always noteworthy.

Buy a cheap Chinese still, watch a few Youtubes, make a sugar wash, and BOOM … you’re a Moonshiner!

Thermometers don’t drink . That is why we use our Tongue and Nose to make these decisions.

The flavor and smell are great. Super Smokey with some nice sweet corn notes, a little salty. I think it tastes amazing and could sip on the white dog all day (if I didn’t have to work and liked my liver).

Wife hated it, she described it as accidentally taking a drink of a beer that someone had put out a cigarette or two in.

[Stonecutter]

I think PP said that so it's good enuff for me.

I kinda figger lower and slower would be the better way to go. So far it's worked well at 55% for me.

tp (kinda low and slow hisself)

This from the opening paragraph from The Inventions And Customs Of The Ancients And Moderns In The Use And Manufacture Of Inebriating Liquors:

"Among these, the preservation of fruit and their juices, however rudely practiced, might have led the use of inebriating drink; a beverage which, as will hereafter be shewn, has been discovered by some of the moist savage nations, and deemed a luxury by the almost universal testimony of mankind"

I'd save a liter for drinking, then redistill the rest.
